Arab MK seeks to raise issue of prison hunger strikes

MK Jamal Zahalka (Balad) is trying to internationalize the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict by seeking help from the UN and other countries with regards to the
release of four Palestinian prisoners on a hunger strike in Israeli jails, he
told The Jerusalem Post this week.

Zahalka has written a letter to UN
Secretary-General Ban Kimoon.

Last week he sent a letter to Egypt’s
President Mohamed Morsi via the Egyptian Embassy in Israel.
